Reinstall of WIN XP - Lost Office XP

[Genielinda]

I see others have had similar problems after re-installing XP. Set up on
OFFICE XP states no qualifying problem found (error 1608). Of course my old
MS Office CDs have long since been destroyed. How can I re-install without
my previous CDs?

I see others have had similar problems after re-installing XP. Set
up on OFFICE XP states no qualifying problem found (error 1608). Of
course my old MS Office CDs have long since been destroyed. How can
I re-install without my previous CDs?

You can't. The stipulation of the upgrade licence is that, once you use a
product to qualify for the upgrade, that licence is then 'assimilated' into
the upgrade (two halves of a whole if you like) and the two are then
inseparable. If you no longer own, or have possession of the original
product you used to qualify, then the upgrade licence is rendered null and
void.

That's a stipulation of the EULA.

And I think you meant "qualifying product" ;o)

Your punishment for being careless is to purchase Office 2003.
